Ancient Godly Monarch
chapter-946

"This…" The various geniuses were stunned into speechlessness when they saw such a scene.

Nanfeng Yunxi, Qing`er, and Qin Wentian were all fighting together against Mo Xie. And even though the #2-ranked Mo Xie had already obtained a portion of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor’s inheritance, he was still injured by their combined forces.

The combined strength of these three made a formidable team. Any one of them had enough power to be ranked within the top six of the Immortal Ascension Rankings. Mo Xie wanted to act arrogant in front of them? And he’d even said that with his presence, the inheritance could only belong to him? How arrogant. He must simply be dreaming a fool’s dream.

Before this, he attacked Qin Wentian, injuring him when he drew near to the golden body. After that, Qing`er paid him back a dose of his own medicine. Nanfeng Yunxi also retaliated by increasing the pressure on him, before Qin Wentian’s God’s Hand finally managed to heavily injure Mo Xie.

But then they saw Mo Xie staggering to remain on his feet, his countenance pale, as he wiped away the blood from the corners of his lips. Despite his body being protected by the devilish tribulation force, he’d still been heavily injured. His sinister eyes stared at the three people who attacked him, shining with a fearsome light as he spoke, "Well done, your strength is truly not bad."

"The inheritance is open for all to fight over. You honestly want everyone to step aside so you can be the sole person to seize it? In that case, you don’t even need to dream about obtaining it as well." Nanfeng Yunxi spoke with cold arrogance. That golden body possessed a perfect physique, able to cause a resonance with one’s body, and could aid them in establishing a similar supreme physique as well. This Mo Xie actually wanted to hog all the benefits alone? What a foolish dream.

"Okay. Nanfeng Yunxi, since you’ve put it that way. I will make a pledge that prior to obtaining the inheritance, I won’t attack you guys again. Let’s see who will be the first among us to establish the supreme physique then." Mo Xie swept his glance over the three, opting to compromise. Naturally, he also knew that he’d be at a disadvantage if he fought against the three of them alone. Although he’d briefly exchanged blows with them earlier, he knew that these three weren’t ordinary characters, and wouldn’t be defeated easily.

"Since this is the case, I hope you will abide by your promise," Nanfeng Yunxi coldly spoke. After which, she returned to Qing`er and Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian didn’t say anything, and merely turned and walked back once again towards the region of golden light. To him, establishing the physique was of paramount importance. Fighting against Mo Xie now was nothing but a waste of time. The three of them might be powerful, but based on the strength Mo Xie had shown earlier, it would surely not be so easy to kill Mo Xie.

Qin Wentian drew in a deep breath. He closed his eyes as the power of his blood circulated within his body. After which, he walked forward step-by-step towards the golden body, and an instant later, the golden body actually appeared in his perception. At this moment, Qin Wentian sensed something. Maybe his previous method was wrong, and the golden figure should not be viewed with the naked eye.

Everything seen with the naked eye was only an illusion. Maybe, this golden body didn’t even exist here. Not in this reality, or anywhere else. It was only an illusory existence, an imaginary one. A perfect body could only exist within one’s perception, and hence, no matter how much you walked, you would feel that the distance towards that golden body would never lessen. Only one’s perception could change the distance, allowing you to draw closer to that illusory body.

Qin Wentian took a step forward, and that marvelous energy once again gushed into his body. Qin Wentian could feel the strength of his body ascending to another level as the rumbling sounds rang out instantly. Wave after wave of terrifying energy continued to gush in, and now he could clearly sense how fearsome the might contained within that golden body was. In his mind’s eye, by virtue of his perception, he was right in front of the golden body now.

—BOOM-BOOM-BOOM!— Terrifying sounds echoed from within Qin Wentian’s body, and he shuddered violently. A fearsome surge of energy enveloped his body, circulating endlessly, as the mysterious energy triggered the resonance of his body.

At this moment, in his perception, Qin Wentian was standing right before the golden body, only an inch away. At such a close distance, he could clearly sense the power of the perfect supreme physique contained within this golden body. The vast and ponderous might inside it caused one to feel as though the energy of this body could never be exhausted, and the body itself could last forever, indestructible.

"This…" Outside the region, the various geniuses were all stunned to witness it. They realized that Qin Wentian had actually managed to walk all the way to the front of the golden body. At such a close distance, Qin Wentian only needed to stretch out his hand to touch that golden body. In fact, no one had seen how Qin Wentian had managed to accomplish this. It seemed like he’d only taken a single step, and then instantly arrived there, ignoring the laws of space in this reality.

This was an extremely marvelous feeling, nobody would be able to explain this clearly.

However, could Qin Wentian truly establish his supreme physique?

Mo Xie, who was also in the region of golden light, witnessed this scene as well. His dark eyes narrowed, yet he still appeared to retained his cool. He only stared at Qin Wentian, feeling neither anger nor jealousy, and was content to simply watch him.

"This is an indestructible body. If one wants to establish such a physique, they had to have other bouts of good fortune before. I have to establish it no matter what." Mo Xie’s heart was like an unbendable steel. He used the devilish tribulation force to temper a calamitous devil physique, causing his fleshy body to be unyieldingly tough. If he managed to establish this indestructible physique as well, then just based on the pure strength of his body, he would be unrivalled among all characters at the same realm.

Whether it was the inheritance of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor or this particular ancient emperor, both had been left behind for him to claim. After obtaining the inheritance, he would establish his immortal foundation here in the City of Ancient Emperors and truly begin his road of conquest, aiming to become a king.

Mo Xie stood there unmoving, silently observing Qin Wentian. Since this man had accomplished this before he could, he would surely have points worth learning from. He wanted to study Qin Wentian’s actions and see how that guy had done it.

After a long moment, a dazzling light flashed through Mo Xie’s dark eyes. After which, similar to Qin Wentian, he closed his eyes as the energy in his body thrummed. The various geniuses only saw Mo Xie’s silhouette flickering, and a shocking sight soon appeared. His body was now like Qin Wentian’s, and had appeared before the golden body.

The two of them stood at opposing sides around the golden body.

"This…" The crowd was speechless. As expected of Mo Xie, what a powerful comprehension ability. He understood the secret shortly after Qin Wentian entered the region, quickly accomplishing what Qin Wentian had done. Naturally, ordinary people wouldn’t dare to be so audacious even if they had comprehended the secret. Because there was no way their bodies would be able to withstand the rushing impact of that energy, and they might very well be jolted to death from the pressure.

Xuan Yang stared at the two of them as traces of jealousy flashed through his eyes. He was ranked fourth in the Immortal Ascension Rankings, but ever since Qin Wentian began his own meteoric rise, he’d caused a storm to descend on the City of Ancient Emperors. And by contrast, he, Xuan Yang, seemed to be ramming his toe into nails no matter what he did. Things were not smooth at all, and even now in this location, everything seemed to have become a competition between Mo Xie and Qin Wentian. He, Xuan Yang, had seemingly become nothing but a passerby—a mere spectator.

This Qin Wentian…it seemed that no matter where he went, he would always become the focal point of attention, effortlessly attracting the gazes of others.

This matter was also a point of contention for Xiao Lengyue, who stood beside Xuan Yang in fury. Back when he’d first stepped into the City of Ancient Emperors, this newbie was just an insignificant being, and now he’d evolved step-by-step to become so dazzlingly resplendent. His light had even overshadowed hers.

However only to see at this moment, both Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue respectively launched their attacks. They were unwilling to believe that they couldn’t compare to Qin Wentian in all aspects.

Before this was the God’s Hand. And now it was the inheritance of this ancient emperor.

There were many geniuses who turned to look at to Xiao Lengyue. Just like in the past, Xiao Lengyue truly had no reason to act against Qin Wentian. Qin Wentian obtaining the God’s Hand was due to his own ability and talent, and not merely by luck.

Nanfeng Yunxi, Qing`er, Hua Taixu, Jun Mengchen, Zi Qingxuan, and the rest, they were all putting in the effort in their attempts to establish a supreme physique. There were no rules saying that only one would be able to succeed. Anyone could attempt it.

Time flowed by, and the majority of those who stepped into the Underworld Mountains were now in that place. There were only three others in the other cavern, comprehending the inheritance of the Brahma Heavenly Emperor. The Underworld Mountains returned back to a state of quietness.

The mysterious gray-robed old man had vanished completely, and hadn’t appeared again. That female apparition had also disappeared. The eight immortal emperors lay peacefully in their coffins, and without notice, time flitted by.

Qin Wentian and Mo Xie were not the only ones in front of the golden body. Nanfeng Yunxi, Qing`er, and Jun Mengchen had reached that point as well. It was understandable for Nanfeng Yunxi and Qing`er to be able to reach such an extent, but everyone was shocked by Jun Mengchen’s presence. Many were bewildered by this; as one of Qin Wentian’s friends, Jun Mengchen didn’t really get the chance to radiate his own light. It had always been Qin Wentian who shone brilliantly.

And on the contrary, the ones ranked #4 and #6—Xuan Yang and Xiao Lengyue—had both failed to make it this far.

Qin Wentian closed his eyes and stood there, with no distractions in his heart. Although the rumbling sounds echoed continuously from within his body, there was a circulation of energy that spun about on its own volition, as though following its own laws. He no longer felt that the energy was as violent and savage as before. His entire body radiated a terrifying light, and his aura grew more vast and imposing. Runic light circulated around his entire body, giving people the sense that his corporal body had been imbued with an extremely fearsome defense.

Suddenly, rays of light shot forth from the golden body, enveloping Qin Wentian completely. Although Qin Wentian could clearly sense the energy within, but he also had the faint sense that his body would find it impossible to completely fuse with the energy contained within the golden body.

"Over there!" Sounds of exclamation rang out.

"Mo Xie!" Outside the region, many of the geniuses abruptly stood up, as expressions of shock appeared on their faces.

"How powerful, has he succeeded?" The hearts of everyone pounded violently. They saw Mo Xie’s body floating in the air, yet he didn’t seem to be using any energy. His entire person floated before the golden body, resonating at the same frequency, as the golden rays enveloped him completely. Terrifying flashes of light radiated from him as though the process of establishing a physique had just begun.

"Mo Xie, he was the last to arrive here, yet now he’s actually succeeded his comprehension before Qin Wentian! Is he about to establish his supreme physique?"

"Mo Xie is already so monstrous. If his physique establishment succeeds, he’ll gain inheritances from two emperors.By then, how much stronger will he become?" The hearts of everyone trembled, they dared not imagine how Mo Xie could be even more terrifying in the future!
